The Jacobites

---Scroll down for the sessions---

Each year the summerfestivities hit my hometown of Nijmegen like a nuclear bomb. Nearly one and a half million people descend upon our city near the river to party and enjoy music.

In 2010 I was asked by VPRO Broadcasting Company to film special acoustic sessions in the oldest stone building in the country for their music website www.3VOOR12.tv

So in the span of 5 days I shot 15 acoustic sessions with these artists:

• The Crookes
• The Morning Benders
• Sarah Blasko
• The Jacobites
• Shearwater
• Automatic Sam
• Okieson
• Lilian Hak
• Fucked up
• Phantom Puercos
• Toro Y Moi
• The Antlers
• Gabby Young and other animals
• Dez Mona
• Monotonix

I shot the sessions on two camera's, a Sony HVR-Z1E and a Sony HVR-Z5E, both in SD 25p mode. The sound was recorded into the HVR-Z1E from two Neumann KM-143 microphones. Lighting was primitive, but effective.

Editing was done during the nights and on two additional days afterwards. Not all sessions are online yet, but hang in there and we'll get them all up here!
